Makeoverfor our Facebook page titles! question about open graph and Google
-
Hello,
We have two Facebook pages for our company, one in English and one in Arabic.
A few weeks ago we wanted to change the Facebook page titles but this option was not allowed for both pages.
Now Facebook is giving us an option to change the title for both pages:
We had a lengthy discussion regarding the best way to name our Facebook pages.
Currently our Facebook pages titles are:
For the one in English: "X"
( X - our brand name in English*)
For the page in Arabic: "X - Arabic"
( X- our brand name in English*)
We agreed to change the title for the page in English to:
X - (The main 3 keywords in our brand's field in English)
( X - our brand name in English).*
for the Arabic page we suggested to change the title to:
X - (The main 3 keywords in our company field in Arabic)**
( X - our brand name in English).*
**** We will translate the main 3 keywords to Arabic**
We have a few questions:
- How does the search work in Facebook? Does the open graph algorithm take into account the page's content and/or its title and description?
- Is there any preferred way to name the Facebook pages? We were debating using the company's slogans versus the main keywords for our brand. ? Or should the title contain just the brand name?
- What components of the Facebook page title and URL affect our page's visibility in Google for a search on our brand name? It's important to mention that Google currently does not show the Arabic page in the 1st page in Google.
Thank you in advance for your help!

For starter, I think the Facebook page name change was a hit. Well done, that is the option I would choose.
As for your questions:
- Links from facebook does not count towards your Website's SEO. It helps SURE, as when users search for your brand they will be able to see your facebook page on the SERPs. However, it doesn't bring any direct benefit to your main homepage (other than socially).
- As said, the names you used BRANDNAME - SLOGAN is the right way to go. As they keywords will only help rank that page. Think USER.
- Have you tried searching in arabic to see if your arabic facebook page shows up?

Facebook and Google+ Not Properly Picked Up
Hello, I have been having issues for some time now getting my Google+ and Facebook activity to show in the social media section of site explorer. Was anyone else having this same issue? I have verified my website to both pages and the Facebook page receives a considerable amount of traffic so it is very confusing to me. Any help is much appreciated. Thank You Steve

What could Google+ do for your SEO?
If your a Google+ wizard and do everything right, so optimise your profile, pick up 1000's of followers, followers engage with your posts by adding a comment or a plus, followers are even going to your website and sharing content using the Google plus button etc. What kind of effect would this have on your SEO? Would this kind of activity improve your Auth? Side question: Forget the above, what movement would you expect if one of your pages received 1000 plus's from real users, would you expect to see a jump in SERP's I know every website is different, im just looking to see what I could expect if the work was put in to achieve the above.

Tools for Automating Facebook Posts?
Hey Mozzers, We're revamping our social media campaign, and I'm looking for a tool that will allow me to schedules social media posts (Facebook specifically) in advance, so I'll only have to knock them out once a week. A cursory Google search has provided me with some options (HootSuite, etc) but I'd love to hear from people who actually use these services. What's your social media automation tool of choice, and how has it worked out for you? Thanks!

Facebook Likes not counted
So many of my clients are (very) small businesses and have added a like button to their website home pages that actually has the person liking their Facebook page rather than the website. Without debating the pros and cons of this approach, it would seem that Facebook has changed it so that if someone clicks a like button that is for a page they have not actually visited the like does not show up in the like count for that page? Is that correct?
